A
15-year old girl (name withheld) shocked the police and her parents
when she told them that she couldn’t do without her boyfriend.
She abandoned her education and left her parents’ house at
Isheri road in Ijegun and went to live with Lateef Adeyanju, her
boyfriend at his house at Olorunfemi Street, Isheri Oshun in
Lagos State, southwest Nigeria.
After searching for her for several days, her parents discovered
that she was living with Lateef.
They went to the police at Isheri Oshun Division and reported that
their daughter had been abducted and kept in Lateef’s house.
When the police met her at Lateef’s house, she shocked both the
police and her parents by telling them she loves him and none of them
could treat her the way Lateef was treating her, including sleeping
with her.
When the police counselled and told her that she was still young
to understand what love is all about and told her to face her
education, she said age was not a barrier to falling in love.
She said she knew what she wanted in life and they should leave
her alone to live her life.
After the police cautioned her and handed her over to her mom
identified as Helen, she returned again to Lateef’s house the
following day. Following the development, the police arrested her,
her mother Helen, Lateef and his mother, Ramota Adeyanju for their
alleged complicity in the matter.
They were all charged before Ejigbo Magistrate’s court, presided
over by Mrs M. B. Folami, for various offences.
The teenager was charged with indecent practice by packing her
belongings and living with a man.
Her mother, Helen was charged with criminal negligence by allowing
her under aged daughter to live with a man.
Lateef and his mother Ramota were charged with abduction and
conduct likely to cause breach of public peace.
When the matter came up for hearing in court, the magistrate
ordered that it should be transfered to a juvenile court because of
the age of the girl.

How can you arrest the mother, what is her crime. So she should lock the girl inside the house and throw the keys away. Right?. Nigeria Police, no common sense.
